FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie Fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is made of polyester micro fleece and is not waterproof. It is best used as a thermal layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
Can I wear this in the summer?
While it is lightweight, it is designed for insulation. It is best suited for cool summer evenings or high-altitude environments where temperatures drop.
Does the fit run true to size?
Yes, it is designed as a standard adult fit with stretch binding for a snug feel. If you prefer a loose fit for heavy layering, you may consider sizing up.
What material is the chest pocket made of?
The chest pocket features a nylon-look fabric, which provides a contrast to the soft micro fleece body.
Is this fleece machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. Please refer to the care label for specific temperature recommendations.
Troubleshooting
The zipper feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, lightly rub a pencil lead or a small amount of clear wax on the teeth to lubricate them.
Pilling occurs after washing
Pilling is common with synthetic fleeces. You can use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove small fuzz balls from the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Frankie Fleece stays in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners as they can degrade the fleece fibers.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a tumble dryer, select the lowest heat setting to prevent shrinking or damage to the nylon-look chest pocket.
- Layering: The fleece is designed for standard layering. It pairs best with thin technical base layers or t-shirts and fits comfortably under most standard-sized rain shells.
- Storage: Hang the garment when not in use to maintain the shape of the stretch binding at the cuffs and hem.
